One woman’s thirst for power changes history forever…

Domina is a dramatic historical novel about the turbulent life and death of Agrippina, Empress of Rome, from the master of historical fiction, Paul Doherty. Perfect for fans of Lindsey Davis and Steven Saylor.


Agrippina – mother of Nero, wife of Claudius – has no choice but to fight with her wits to stay alive. Emerging victorious in the secretive plot to end the reign of Tiberius, she also proves to be a formidable opponent to her insane and cruel brother, Caligula. But as she rises to power as the wife of Claudius, her one weakness becomes apparent: her ambitious love for her son, Nero.
In the treacherous arena of Ancient Rome, Agrippina knows that each player must fight to survive – or die. And be prepared to sacrifice anything or anyone…
